[POV: PUNZ]

Punz groaned, going to stretch before realizing Sapnap hadn't moved from his spot. Then they noticed he was shaking slightly, worry immediately growing and wriggling around like a worm in his brain, but it was a bad brain worm, one that would eat your mind and leave it a empty skull of worry.

"Karl..." Sapnap whispered, Punz frowning and looking over.
"No!" Sapnap whimpered, Punz now realizing that he was talking in his sleep.

Karl was his boyfriend, right? Ew, he better not be having some weird wet dream- Punz thought before realizing there was tears beginning to fall down his cheeks.

(/j ofc ofc)

"Someone... loved... me..." Sapnap whimpered again, his tone reminiscent of a puppy who'd been kicked. Punz shook him slightly to try and wake him up from the nightmare with no response,
"Sapnap?" Punz asked, having turned their body to face Sapnap's as he shook him.

"Sapnap-?! Are you, okay? Wake up please..." Punz said, shaking their friend harder as waves of fear washed over him. Sapnap stirring slightly, bleary dull eyes opening to meet Punz's blue ones.

"Pu-Punz?" Sapnap stuttered, his voice high and cracking in between each letter almost.
"Yeah, it's me, I'm here for you.... Are you okay?" Punz whispered, trying to keep his voice calm.

"Where... Where am I?" Sapnap spoke, his voice quieter than a library, eyes as wide as the night sky.
"Your safe here with me," Punz spoke, Sapnap nodding leaning back into Punz's shirt and beginning to cry, Punz embracing him.

Their shirt was becoming soaked with tears, he didn't mind, in fact, he was glad to know Sapnap was still able to cry. They couldn't the last time he cried, becoming so used to bottling things up that they just laughed at their own pain and took it with a smile now.

He let out a soft sigh of relief into Sapnap's shoulder as the other began to calm down slightly.

"Th-Thank you Punz." Sapnap mumbled, tone still slightly cracking but not as bad as it had been before.
"Of course." Punz whispered back, resting their chin on Sapnap's head.

"Ew." Purpled mocked as he walked out of his room into the living room, Punz rolling his eyes and Sapnap lifting his head a bit before shutting them and hiding his face away in Punz's shoulder.
"Come on dude, that's my brother." Purpled snickered, their expression smug as he watched Punz's face heat up.

"And?" Sapnap raised his head, keeping eye contact a surprisingly long time with Purpled before leaning back into Punz with a yawn.

"Anyways, we need to go to the store to buy some stuff- by the way Ponk came home last night with the dogs. Said they were all over at Sam's house again." Purpled shrugged, looking towards the hallway that Ponk was in, probably snuggled up with Teddy and Dogchamp.

"M'kay, Sapnap are you feeling well enough to come with us?" Punz asked, brushing his fingers through Sapnap's dark brown hair as he responded with a wistful sigh,
"I guess."

...

Raindrops were sliding down the windowsill, Punz smiling fondly as they remembered watching them race down as a child and make bets on who would win, mostly bets with himself, so they had ended up almost always loosing anyways.
"Wanna race raindrops?" Sapnap laughed as he  noticed Punz looking at them.
